A little confused

So I'm completely new to growing edibles. I've grown cubes in the past so I'm not clueless, but edibles seem to be an entirely different world. With cubes, you make grain spawn and spawn that to your bulk substrate. So with edible wood lovers (reishi, oysters, maitake, beech), do you make grain spawn, let it colonize, and spawn that to your hardwood source, or do you mix the grain and hardwood and inoculate that with a lc? I'm planning on using hardwood pellets, shredded aspen from a pet store, and supplementing with bran. Does that sound okay? Also, when you talk about supplementing with bran, what type of bran are you guys talking about? Cereal? Lol. Thanks for your help guys, I just really want a definite answer. I'm going fairly big with this and I just wanted to make sure I'm not about to waste 40 pounds of bird seed.

Welcome to the edible world!

Actually the principle is exactly the same, you've got it right what you said here:

The only thing is if you're going to be supplementing with bran, you will want to sterilize the whole substrate (in the PC) and spawn it in front of a flow hood.  If you leave out the bran, you can get away with only pasteurizing and spawn in open air. 
With pellets, I find it easiest just to leave out the bran and use Lipa's pellet tek, but if you have a flow hood and want to mess with PC'ing bags by all means go that route, supplementation does help yields in most cases.

I think wheat bran is most common, but there's also rice bran and maybe other kinds too.

That was very helpful! And yeah, the principal is the same, but I never heard the term "supplement" when dealing with actives. Haha. I suppose that was what confused me. So really, it is all the same as actives except that horse poop is substituted with hard wood.  Thanks so much, that helped a ton.
